Chunky Dunking, taking the plunge and losing the flab!

I'm lucky where we are because the a&e department has an out of hours service right next door which is basically a gp's service for when they are shut. You get an appointment with them within a few hours or quicker depending how busy they are or there's the minor injury unit about 20 mins away which is so much quicker than a&e. Even with a break you're in and out within the hour. Pulled muscles are painful but they do heal themselves which is the only plus side. You taking anything for it? xx

Oh that sounds lovely! Our GP is normally pretty good but I guess they're dealing with the X-mas backlog! I haven't been because normally I'm one for masking the pain being bad because I need to tell when it needs attention, but might try, I just can't think which muscle it would be, it's in the wrong place!

It's that time of year when surgeries get full of people with colds trying to get antibiotics. Numpties! Xx

Morning lovely lady, any improvement on the tummy? xx

 

[Llamasoks]

My life has gone t*ts up, so I'm back after a terrible binge and lots of tears!

I'm being made redundant, got told on Thursday, Friday morning Doug had a seizure so a trip to the vets a floor covered in wee and 2 panic attacks later I'm back to healthy eating. I'm very stressed and my stomach still hurts (though is considerably better than it was) but I'm trying to focus on weight loss rather than anything else right now, so I'm doing okay.

Have had a green celery, greek yogurt and kiwi smoothie and a peanut butter (healthy organic, no sugar or salt) and banana sandwich ad an orange for lunch.

I'm sorry I've been so flaky lately!

Oh em I'm so sorry about the job that really sucks! They've got a cheek when you've done so much for them and pretty much single handed too! Poor Doug too, is he ok now? What did the vet say caused the seizure?

No wonder you had a bit of a binge babes you've had a very stressful few days. Sending you big hugs xxx

I was so angry Thursday I could have tripped the MD!

He seems okay now, playing normally but tired and a bit confused, vets ran bloods but didn't find anything which is good and bad I guess, gotta keep an eye on him and see if he has another one.

I'm just so tired, wondering what else 2015 can throw at me! Hoping the job will be a blessing in disguise, was thinking about resigning anyway, just would have rather it had been on my terms!

[scarlet79]

Yeah you said you weren't happy there but it's never nice to have the decision taken out of your hands. I hope it's a blessing in disguise and you find something better.

Poor Doug I hope it was a one off and he doesn't have to go through it again. It's bad enough when you're human and have one but at least you can understand what it was xxx

I am at work, with a Doug! Who barks every time the phone rings, this is not my month is it?! 1 hour of sleep last night, an multiple rounds of clearing up dog sick off the floor, I think 2015 hates me.

Breakfast: Orange
Lunch: Nectarine and a naked bar
Dinner: I have no idea what I've planned, but I will try and eat healthy.

XxX

 

[scarlet79]

2015 doesn't have any sense if it hates you. Still got a poorly Doug? Bless him too and bless you trying to work even though they don't deserve you!

Am going to make your day worse by telling you that there is nowhere near enough food in that menu for today missy. Make dinner something nutritious and filling. How's your tummy today? xxx

 

[Llamasoks]

Still poorly unfortunately, no more fits but lots of sick and he's very quiet and cuddly.

I know, not planned (was supposed to be a nice protein box and bacon and eggs for breakie) , I fell asleep for 15 mins after my alarm and had to run around like a headless chicken trying to find something that didn't need to be made! I have a pot of nuts and seeds here so can have a handful if hungry, and long grapes that have been deep frozen! Have lots of veg to use up tonight so might make a pie or some sort!

[scarlet79]

Aww love him it doesn't sound pleasant at all. Did you go to the docs Friday after?

Got any fish or prawns to make a fish pie with? How about bubble and squeak? That's quite easy and is very yummy but not too bad cal wise xx

No I didn't go in the end, did ring them Thurs night but they couldn't book me in and totally forgot on Friday. I have haddock, could make a smoked haddock pie and do lots of green on the side, I'd rather wallow in ice cream but I am trying to be good!
XxX

 

[scarlet79]

Too cold for ice cream so not even b & j's peanut butter me up is tempting today. I am fancying a muller rice though but think that's cos I know it's lurking in the fridge. Haddock pie sounds lovely and very warming on a day like today xxx

I did not have haddock pie, I am a shame to the Minis family. I am so acutely aware that I NEED to be healthy, I just can't seem to shake this off. Though due to stress I do feel thinner! I'm in no way taking the week off, I am trying (see fighting) every step of the way, I'm just losing at the moment. It doesn't help that Steve keeps trying to cheer me up, he's so darn relaxed, a kind of "everything will be alright till it's not" kind of person and I'm a panicker, I need to make plans and lists and stick post it notes on things and have an exact idea of everything in my head and he wont talk about it because when I worry he just tells me to calm down and tries to reassure me which makes me more wound up, at the moment he's in the phase of "Lets have a night of pizza and TV to take your mind off it" and I'm so shattered I'm just like "yeah sure whatever", I have no motivation to cook or move at all really. I've been literally sitting all day at work and then go home and just zombie out, I don't even remember what happened on the SPN episode we watched last night and that's bad.

Sorry for the endless rambling, I will get back into positive healthy eating headspace soon, promise! I want to be good again!

Breakfast: Orange and a nectarine
Lunch: Peanut butter and jam (the healthy kind or both) sandwich and a Nak'd bar
Dinner: I do not know, might actually attempt the fish pie!

I might take a break from posting here till I'm in a better frame of mind and just give advice and love on other peoples diaries, I'm sure all my slip ups aren't helping anyone!

I feel for you sweets, I know he's trying to help but I'm like you and would want a plan B ready to go with everything being so up in the air work wise. Bless them they never get it right do they? On the plus side I remember you telling me before you could manage on just Steve's wage and hopefully it won't be long before you find something else. It's hard to stay motivated to diet at the best of times but when you've had so much stress with work and Doug it's no wonder you're a bit zoned out. I'd love to be able to give you a way of not worrying so much about it until other things are more settled but focusing on healthy choices rather than weight loss but it's all easier said than done isn't it?

It's up to you if you don't post obviously it's your diary but I don't think you are doing anyone else any harm. If we're that easily led there's no hope for us anyway lol Ramble away it's better to get stuff off your chest than bottle it up lovely girl xxx

I kind of feel like I need a week off to just focus on healthiness, do exercise, drink juices and be active, just to focus on me, to kind of re-set if that makes sense, only now I can't afford it because if I take more time off than I accrue till April I don't get paid for them!

I did jokingly say to him that if I didn't find another job I'd take a few months to just exercise all day and be lovely and thin, plus dinner would be on the table by 6, how did he fancy that? Didn't seem too keen mind you!

It shouldn't be this hard to just not order takeout, it certainly isn't helping my money worries but I've gotten so blasé!
XxX

 

[scarlet79]

It would be easier to say no to take away if your brain wasn't screaming at you that you need comfort. I reckon Steve will get used to having his tea on the table by six and you being around to look after him. I hope you get something soon, well as soon as you want to find it (sorry steve) but if you are at home then he will be like Dai was when I changed jobs and think it's brilliant.

If you need some time to reset work out how much time you can actually take off if any and make a list of the things you want to do in that week and if you can't take any time off try and make the most of weekends xx

It's a shame as I really do enjoy cooking, if I didn't work I'd be happy as larry being a housewife (I know that sounds awful and I'd hate to make Steve work full time if he didn't want to) but I'd love to cook and clean and sort everything all day! But it's such a chore after work isn't it?.

I've worked out I can take 5 days, if I stay till the end of April as they'd like, which doesn't seem too bad, it'd only be if I left before then I'd not get paid for them, and I'm entitled to 2 days off for interviews which don't last all day do they so that's a bit more, will wait till I've got the official letter and then maybe book a Monday and Tuesday off without Steve to work on me.

At the moment I think it's more the change than the actual job issue, I so so hate change (as proven by my phone, still a manky old Nokia from donkeys years ago, even my laptop is about 12 years old), I can't imagine going to another place, especially if it's busy with lots of new people!

I'm not a fan of people, I miss my old buddies in Spar but the thought of having to play nice with new people is the main reason I like working from home. I would love to be a housewife too, not having to worry about work and just clean and bake all day would be lovely and I don't care if women aren't meant to say that kind of thing these days lol Doing all of that and working sucks the big one and it's made worse when Dai thinks because I'm home all day I automatically have the time to do everything. Um no it doesn't work like that I can't use telekenetic powers on the hoover while I work!

5 days is better than nowt kiddo and might just be the boost you need to get your mojo back. A bit of kip, a good dose of healthy living and some endorphin releasing exercise and you'll be right xxx

I've just emailed Steve and asked him to go to his mummies for the weekend, so I can have a couple of days to exercise and eat right before he comes home and ruins it! (I was nicer than that though). Though my aunt just emailed and asked if I wanted a girly day Sunday, and I do, so might only do half the exercise on that day.
